What a great week this has been for me. I had opportunities to rest, I had time alone, and I even got to work on my tan. While I was at the beach I read a book I have had on my bookshelf for a long time. I looked in the front to see from whence it came and much to my surprise, it was given to me about a year before I moved here over seven years ago. It's about time I got around to reading it! Sabbaticals are good for many things, one of which is reading.
This is an interesting time with all three of us...four if you count dad...home for an extended period of time. There is a sense of joy among us as we take some much needed time to play and just be together. I am sure this summer will be one we remember for the rest of our lives.
It's interesting how the body and mind slow down after racing non-stop. It's a gradual process that leads to a space of peace and clam. That is what I am enjoying today. That is what I am looking forward to tomorrow. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in doing and going that we forget just to be. So what am I doing? Nothing and everything. And I am enjoying every moment of it.
Thank you Holy Cross for the gift of this time off. I know you will be blessed in worship tomorrow so be sure to get up and go to church!
